The WNA Board of Directors currently has several open seats. The board is particularly seeking a chair-person or co-chairs.

Acting as an Area Representative is a simple way to begin serving on the WNA board. Board positions include: Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Area Representative (5), and various Committee Chairs. No experience is necessary: all you need is enthusiasm! The Board will meet six times over the next 12 months, and will hold nine General Meetings.

Living or working in Woodstock neighborhood qualifies you for WNA membership. The purpose of the association is to improve the livability of the City of Portland and of the Woodstock neighborhood; to promote and support projects and activities that contribute to these goals; and to provide a means for citizen participation and communication in determination of affairs which directly and indirectly affect the Woodstock neighborhood.

At the end of 2018, the WNA board voted unanimously to create a subcommittee to investigate and make recommendations for our organizational structure status, named the Organizational Structure of the WNA committee. The committee, open to all board and general members, came to the consensus that the federal 501(c)3 non-profit status would fit the needs and future goals of the WNA board. The committee presented their finding of pursuing 501(c)3 status to the board, and the board voted to move forward with the 501(c)3 status. The committee met twice monthly for over a year, reviewing the lengthy and detailed documentation and legal requirements of the IRS. The committee recommended (and the board approved) submitting the final draft application (including the bylaws and articles of incorporation) to a local attorney office specializing in non-profit law (The Center for Non-Profit Law). The attorney’s office determined we qualified for the IRS “short form.” They also determined our bylaws as they stood were not in compliance with IRS regulations, and recommended we start anew over line-item editing, which is what the committee elected to pursue.

Above are the bylaws that have been edited by our attorney for submittal to the IRS for consideration for 501(c)3 status.

For the foreseeable future, all WNA meetings will be hosted virtually and publically on Zoom. It is not necessary to download anything to access these meetings. Telephone attendance is possible for these meetings.

First Wednesday of the month from 7pm to 8:30 pm – Woodstock Neighborhood Association General Meeting

** THE 2020 PLANT SALE HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO SOCIAL DISTANCING PROTOCOLS. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR EFFORT AND SUPPORT**

Raid Your Garden for the 2020 Woodstock Neighborhood Plant Sale

We need your help for this year’s Woodstock Neighborhood Plant Sale, which benefits the Woodstock Community Center. The plant sale is scheduled for Saturday, May 9th, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the community center, 5905 SE 43rd Ave.

This sale depends primarily on donations from generous gardeners in the community. We are looking for perennials, as well as vegetable starts, herbs, ground covers, native plants, ornamental grasses, houseplants, and small trees and shrubs. We encourage you to contribute plants from your garden, potting them by March or early April in preparation for the sale.

Proceeds from this sale support volunteer efforts to provide routine maintenance, including custodial service and supplies, for the community center, as part of an agreement with Portland Parks that has helped keep the center open since 2004.

Drop your contributions at the Woodstock Community Center on May 8th, between noon and 7 PM. If you need empty pots or an alternate drop-off time, call Sandy Profeta at 503-771-7724 or Terry Griffiths at 503-771-0011.

Want to know more about aging in place within a community of helping neighbors? Come hear a presentation by Eastside Village!

A representative of Eastside Village will present information at our upcoming General Meeting.

Eastside Village is an interdependent, intergenerational community of neighbors helping neighbors. Its members are individuals and couples who prefer staying in their homes and neighborhoods rather than moving into retirement communities.

However, the Village is not just for those near or already into retirement. It’s for people of all ages who value being part of Portland’s eastside community and want to strengthen their link to it, including through volunteering.

Membership is open to all residents of this area age 18 and older, to include people with disabilities who are not yet seniors. Initial outreach for Eastside Village was made possible in part through grant funding from the City of Portland and SE Uplift’s Neighborhood Small Grants Program. Eastside Village is a program of Villages NW, a nonprofit organization.
